A team of scientists, including Warren Wiscombe from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., has won a berth on a tiny satellite to explore one of NASA's most important frontiers in climate studies: The imbalance in Earth's energy budget and the extent to which fast-changing phenomena, like clouds, contribute to that imbalance.
